She
did
n't
know
it
,
but
just
so
would
he
have
offered
comfort
and
help
to
any
of
his
parishioners
,
if
with
a
less
intense
personal
involvement
;
so
very
kindly
,
but
never
identifying
himself
with
the
trouble
.
And
,
perhaps
not
so
oddly
,
thereby
the
comfort
and
help
he
offered
was
all
the
greater
.
As
if
he
had
gone
beyond
such
small
things
,
so
they
were
bound
to
pass
.
It
was
not
a
conscious
thing
in
him
,
either
;
no
one
who
came
to
him
for
succor
ever
felt
that
he
looked
down
on
them
,
or
blamed
them
for
their
weaknesses
.
Many
priests
left
their
people
feeling
guilty
,
worthless
or
bestial
,
but
he
never
did
.
For
he
made
them
think
that
he
,
too
,
had
his
sorrows
and
his
struggles
;
alien
sorrows
and
incomprehensible
struggles
,
perhaps
,
yet
no
less
real
.
He
neither
knew
nor
could
have
been
brought
to
understand
that
the
larger
part
of
his
appeal
and
attraction
lay
not
in
his
person
,
but
in
this
aloof
,
almost
godlike
,
very
human
something
from
his
soul
.
As
far
as
Meggie
was
concerned
,
he
talked
to
her
the
way
Frank
had
talked
to
her
:
as
if
she
were
his
equal
.
But
he
was
older
,
wiser
and
far
better
educated
than
Frank
,
a
more
satisfactory
confidant
.
And
how
beautiful
his
voice
was
,
with
its
faint
Irishness
and
pear-shaped
Britishness
.
It
took
all
the
fear
and
anguish
away
.
Yet
she
was
young
,
full
of
curiosity
,
eager
now
to
know
all
there
was
to
know
,
and
not
troubled
by
the
perplexing
philosophies
of
those
who
constantly
question
not
the
who
of
themselves
but
the
why
.
He
was
her
friend
,
the
cherished
idol
of
her
heart
,
the
new
sun
in
her
firmament
.
"
Why
should
n't
you
tell
me
,
Father
?
Why
did
you
say
it
ought
to
be
Mum
?
"
"
It
's
a
subject
women
keep
very
much
to
themselves
.
To
mention
menstruation
or
one
's
period
in
front
of
men
or
boys
just
is
n't
done
,
Meggie
.
It
's
something
strictly
between
women
.
"
"
Why
?
"
He
shook
his
head
,
and
laughed
.
"
To
be
honest
,
I
really
do
n't
know
why
.
I
even
wish
it
were
n't
so
.
But
you
must
take
my
word
for
it
that
it
is
so
.
Never
mention
it
to
a
soul
except
your
mother
,
and
do
n't
tell
her
you
discussed
it
with
me
.
"
"
All
right
,
Father
,
I
wo
n't
.
"
It
was
damnably
difficult
,
this
being
a
mother
;
so
many
practical
considerations
to
remember
!
"
Meggie
,
you
must
go
home
and
tell
your
mother
you
've
been
passing
blood
,
and
ask
her
to
show
you
how
to
fix
yourself
up
.
"
"
Mum
does
it
,
too
?
"
"
All
healthy
women
do
.
But
when
they
're
expecting
a
baby
they
stop
until
after
the
baby
is
born
.
That
's
how
women
tell
they
're
expecting
babies
.
